Where to Buy Paper Planes in Newark

Two shops in Newark carry Paper Planes, and unusually for this network both are genuinely in the city: Lounge 128 on Market Street downtown, and Woodstack on Clinton Avenue in the South Ward.

Both stock headwear, so the Original Crown, the 9Fifty the brand launched with, one size, nothing to measure, is the reliable ask. Both open at 10 and run to 8, which is a generous window here.

They are about two miles apart. That is the useful part. Most markets on this list are metros wearing a city's name, with shops scattered across four towns. Newark is not that, you can do both in an afternoon and still have the afternoon.

Market Street is the commercial spine, and Newark Penn Station is a few blocks away, which makes Lounge 128 the shop you can reach from Manhattan without a car. PATH or NJ Transit both put you within walking distance. (973) 643-1300.

Clinton Avenue serves the South Ward directly, and that Woodstack is the same operator running the Brooklyn shops. If you know their Flatbush or Brownsville stores, you have a fair idea what is on the wall here.

If you want the full range or a specific fitted in your size, the SoHo flagship is a short ride from Penn Station and carries everything plus in-store exclusives.

Neither Newark shop carries the whole catalogue, they buy for the people who come in.
